Road work on 826, 836, Homestead Extension and Flagler Street

The commute this week will be impeded by road work on expressways like State Roads 826 and 836 as well as the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike and some major surface roads like Flagler Street.

On West Flagler, lane restrictions will begin soon now that workers have begun an $11.1 million roadway project along the roadway from 14th Avenue to Second Avenue in Miami. This is the second of four projects on West Flagler Street from 27th Avenue to Second Avenue. The work will last approximately two years and include roadway reconstruction, installation of new lighting, traffic signals and pavement markings as well as a bicycle lane — among other tasks.

Meanwhile, the southbound 826/Palmetto Expressway will be closed nightly at SW 88th Street/Kendall Drive through Thursday between 10 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. each day for bridge repair.

On 836, the Milam Dairy Road entrance ramp to the eastbound expressway will be closed through Friday between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. for paving. Similarly, the eastbound 836 collector road to the eastbound mainline lanes of the expressway will be closed at the Northwest 72nd Avenue/Milam Dairy Road ramp through Friday between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
